I am considering having another go at this hybrid cartridge business but I am unsure of how my current design will fare so I hope to get some second opinions.My question to you guys is this; assuming the ignition is at the front of the cartridge, do you think that the preigntion force on the other side will fight the combustion wave and rob power or will it be overcome immediately once the piston cracks open?

The pressure created in the combustion chamber will be far greater than the pre-ignition pressure in the "pilot" area so I don't think you should worry about that.

Also, if this is for a cartridge and you intend to build a number of them, why not have a floating o-ring instead of a one way valve, or just ditch the o-rings altogether and just have a tight fitting piston?

you're suggesting forcing the burst disc into two pipes? I posted a topic about this some time ago, but the problem is that it is extremely hard to do this and get a seal. Especially the type of seal that would be required for high mixes. A union is really your best bet for working with the high pressures generated by a hybrid.

My hybrid is winning aswell, but i only have a 1ml syringe and need to inject 7.2ml for 10x so iv only done a few 5x shots so far. When my bro goes back to work he can get me a few 10ml syringes. Its was surprisingly loud.
